[U2] [UV] Install as root vs uvadm

[Perry Taylor]

I'm getting ready to install UniVerse on a new server and am questioning my 
past decision to install as uvadm rather than root.  I'm not sure that 
installing as uvadm has really been of any benefit.  Anyone want to comment on 
your experiences using uvadm vs root?

Thanks.

Re: [U2] [UV] Install as root vs uvadm

[John Thompson]

Its strictly a security thing.  Installing as uvadm is more secure, and
more in line with typical unix/linux guidelines of only running things as
root when you have to.

It is easier to install as root, but, less secure.  With security, always
comes extra work :)

My two cents...

[Bertrand, Ron]

We had multiple permission problems when we installed universe 11.3 as uvadm. 
Had to emergency re-install as root.

Re: [U2] [UV] Install as root vs uvadm

[John Thompson]

Assuming you are on a *nix system...

If you want to install as uvadm, do the following:

Create a user called uvsql
(In RHEL, use the GUI.  In AIX, use smit)

Create a user called uvadm.
(In RHEL, use the GUI.  In AIX, use smit)

If a group called uvadm, did not get created with the user, create a group
called uvadm.
(In RHEL, use the GUI.  In AIX, use smit)

Then create the /usr/uv directory.
mkdir /usr/uv

Now set the permissions for it:
chown -R uvadm:uvadm /usr/uv

Now set the sgid, to control the group ownership of files that get created
in the /usr/uv directory.
chmod g+s /usr/uv

Now login as uvadm and run the install process.

When it completes it will have you do the last little bit as root.
Simply login as root and do what it tells you.

Now when you add your account data/files/programs, do the following.

Create your users.
Create a group called uvusers.

Make your directory where your accounts reside.
For example:
mkdir -p /uvdata/accts/SOMEACCOUNT

chown -R username:uvusers /uvdata/accts/SOMEACCOUNT
chmod -R 774 /uvdata/accts/SOMEACCOUNT
chmod g+s /uvdata/accts/SOMEACCOUNT

Wala, permissions problems solved :)

Re: [U2] [UV] Install as root vs uvadm

[Michael Pflugfelder]

I believe that there is an existing bug with the 11.3 version of Universe that 
installing as uvadm causes problems.  Still waiting on a fix for this.
